Sarah K.

I have a high efficiency washer and was worried about too many suds. Used the recommended amount and there were barely any bubbles. Rinsed out completely clean. No error codes. No residue left behind. My clothes come out smelling fresh and my machine is visibly cleaner inside. If you have an HE washer and have been scared to use a cleaner, this one is safe.

Amanda T.

Honestly I bought this because I saw it on sale and figured why not. Did not think my machine was that dirty. I was wrong. The first clean pulled out so much gray sludge that I ran a second clean immediately. That one still had gunk but less. By the third clean the water was clear. My machine had been dirty for years and I had no idea. Now I run it every month and the water stays clear. This should be standard maintenance for every household.

Been using this for six months now once a month. My machine still runs like the day I bought it. No weird smells. No random black flecks on my clothes. No weird noises. It just works. The powder dissolves completely and leaves no residue. Plus the packaging is recyclable which I appreciate. I bought the bulk pack and it has lasted forever. Worth every single penny.
